WHO: UK George & Lust
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: George's place, restaurant
WHAT: Date night!
WARNING: Lust so all the warnings.


Lust wore a classic black dress for her date with George. He was a Saint so she figured too much exposure might make his brain explode. The dress looked classy enough except when you took into account the fact it was nearly backless with a nice low neckline, and a slit up the side till her thigh. Plus there was a good chance she wasn't wearing underwear because she saw it more as dress up for the boudoir than an every day necessity. She never wore perfume because her natural scent was intoxicating. Her hair was wavy and lush and she looked like any man would be lucky to have her on his arm tonight.

When George finally would open the door, Lust held up a bouquet of roses with a smile that could pass for devilish or sweet.

George had mentally prepared himself for the date by getting slightly drunk and scowling at a wall for several hours. He opened the door with the same scowl on his face.

"You look nice," he said.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust simply smiled in that 'i know' manner. She pressed the roses against his chest, some random man had given them to her, she never saw the use for flowers but it was a gesture. "You look... less than enthused." she moved to push past him, inviting herself in.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"That's because I am not enthused at all," he said with a sigh. "Wine? I've been drinking it out of the bottle, but I have glasses."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust pouted at him, "Poor baby. We'll have to fix that."

"Yes.. I think I'll need it." she looked him up and down. "Are we ordering in?" because she was not going out with him looking like that.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"I wasn't planning on it." Being in public seemed like a much better idea than being alone with Lust. He glanced down at his dress shirt and jeans. "Where are you planning to go, exactly?"

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

She eyed his clothes like she wanted to burn them, "Not to McDonalds.." she sighed and twirled her hand in the air before it went out like a viper and grabbed him by the shirt, "Where's your bedroom?" she held up her other free hand, "Ah. Don't wanna hear it. I'm interested in your closet."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

George sighed. One date, one date, one date and then I can hide forever...

"Upstairs, to the left."

His house was an old Victorian, designed for a family rather than just him. He wasn't used to having people besides himself there. If he'd realized Lust had been coming inside, George probably would have hidden the various pictures he had of his friends and family. He wasn't sure he liked the idea of a Sin knowing what they looked like, even if it was one who couldn't stay in the country indefinitely.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust smiled but kept her grip on his shirt as she followed his directions. She looked at everything, taking an interest in the house itself more than what was in it.

Upon arriving at his bedroom, "Oh look, the land that sex forgot." she went over to his closet to find him something that didn't look like hobo rags. "When was the last time a woman got to see the inside of this room?" she was genuinely asking. It was her department after all.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"About thirty years," George said with a shrug. He was busy, and a saint, and neither lent itself well to dating. "I have suits, if you're going to be insistent about this."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust put a hand to her chest as if George had shot her. "Thirty years?" she couldn't imagine thirty days. She looked at him like he was crazy, "You're a Saint, not a eunuch."

She pointed at the closet. "Yes." she was going to be insistent so he better dress sharp.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

George rolled his eyes. "We aren't by nature a very carnal bunch, sorry to disappoint you."

He stepped into the closet and, after a moment's thought, locked the door behind him. No need to tempt fate. He chose one of the suits that he wore to state events; it was tailored and expensively made, so he hoped it would satisfy Lust.

George stepped out of the closet once he was done, arms spread as if to ask 'Well?'

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"You're still a man. And not dead."

She laughed when she heard the lock, please as if that would stop her if she really wanted to. She took the opportunity to look around his bedroom. When he finally appeared, she walked over and slowly circled him, inspecting him. She stopped in front of him and smoothed his lapels, slowly smiling with a nod of approval. "Very handsome."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"So glad you approve," George said. He offered her his arm. "Come on, then. The sooner we do this, the sooner you're back on a plane to America."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

She took his arm and shrugged, "You know George, it's curious.. our deal is if you don't want to sleep with me by the end of the date, you don't have to. I'm not even using any influence on you. So." she slowly smiled, looking like what hell would stamp on posters to promote tourism, "I suppose the question on my mind is, what're you worried about?" she even batted her lashes at him.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"All sorts of things," George said. Mostly to steer to topic away from him, he asked, "So, I take it you're not a fan of my American self and your sister?"

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust made a face, "No, not thrilled he's banging my sister. He wouldn't even be with her if it wasn't for me. I'm the one that told her to make a move since she was lusting for the idiot and he wouldn't know how to make a move if his life depended on it. Kinda like you. And what thanks do I get? Grief and misery and his pointy nose stuck into my business all the time. I'd boil him in hot oil but Wrath has a thing about not wanting him harmed or something." she waved her hand like 'kids and their weird conditions'.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"People tend to dislike their dates being boiled alive, yes," George said dryly. "He loves her very much though. I think you did them a favor, getting them together."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust made a whatever face, "He'd come back to life..." saying it almost like a kid.

She sighed, "Yeah yeah, go me. Not that either of them acknowledge it. Dickslayer wouldn't even be with Wrath if it wasn't for me and he acts like I'm a plague that he has to wipe out." she looked at him, "I wanted to see my sister happy, that's all." despite how damn selfish the Sins were, family was very important to them. Only seven of them there were and they looked out for each other. Lust loved Wrath's violent side but her self hatred was something none of her siblings wanted for her.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"And he wants to see her happy, too," George said. "I wasn't kidding about him mooning over her like a schoolboy. He's not very subtle about his affections. Did you and him have any sort of fight?"

He was actually a bit curious about it, since the Yankee hadn't mentioned much regarding any of the Sins besides Wrath. George wondered if the American Sins were very different from the ones he knew.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

She looked thoughtful, "No." she pouted. "He's just mean all the time to me. Says it's his job to stop me from doing what I do. You'd think he'd try to be nicer to his girlfriend's family. Maybe if he was we wouldn't want to stab him in the face all the time. But he's just a giant dick." there was that one incident on the street but to Lust that wasn't a fight, that was just getting in her way.

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"It is actually his job, I'm sorry to say," George said, taking Lust's explanation with a grain of salt. "You should be glad he just nags you. My version of Wrath and I came to blows the last time we met."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"Yes.. and isn't my job to do what I do? If the world lacked Sin frankly you both would be out of a job. And he'd be pretty miserable not having anyone to nag or fix." she bit out that last word. She laughed, "In a physical match I still have him beat."

She paused, now curious herself as she looked at him, "What's your Wrath like?"

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

"I don't think either of us would mind being out of a job, really," George said, voice more wistful than he intended it. Shaking his head, he said, "And I don't know her very well. The last time I saw her was in the riots. I punched her, she hit me with a bat. Neither of us were happy to see the other. And do you have a destination in mind, because I can get us a cab."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

"Pretend for a night you're on vacation, George." she nodded, "I can get the cab, come on." as always it didn't take much more time than a second for some cab to magically screech to a halt when Lust wanted a ride somewhere. She normally wound up with more than one to choose from. She gave the driver an address.

She curled her arm around George's again, resting her head on his shoulder, "My Wrath used to be violent but Dickslayer messes with her mind. She's the only one of us seven that gets along with the whole family believe it or not." she said it with some amused fondness before it faded as she added, "Used to anyway."

[adragonbright.insanejournal.com]

George didn't bother asking her to move. At least she wasn't groping him. "What happened to change things?"
